LEGACY
On October 14, 2011 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, corporate and IBO Leaders gathered
in a historic leadership summit to reflect on where they started, celebrate where they
have been, and dream about where the AMWAY™ business opportunity can go.
A gracious “Thank You!” to our corporate leaders,
Rich DeVos, Doug DeVos (see inset) and Steve Van
Andel (see inset) for their participation. And, a very
special “Thank You!” to the Independent Business
Owners who participated: Jody and Kathy Victor;
Rex Renfrow; Birdie and Dexter Yager; Georgia Lee
and Ron Puryear; Nancy and Jim Dornan; Paul and
Leslie Miller; Peggy and Bill Britt; Anna, Seung Ho,
and Jay Kim; Tim Foley; and Sharon and Jim Janz.
LEGACY LEADERS
Amway
UNIQUELY
West Michigan is home to Amway and to a number
of other well-known and well-regarded companies.
On paper, those organizations look a lot like Amway.
They are companies with an international reach,
companies that are family owned and managed.
They are each highly acclaimed for treating their
employees well, and have great products to sell.
Yet, for all of the similarities, Amway is different.
Amway is unique – because of the values on which it
was founded; because of the DeVos and Van Andel
families’ enduring commitment to those values of
Freedom, Family, Hope, and Reward; and because
of the people who believe in the AMWAY™ business
and have taken it to heart to encircle the globe and
change lives, one at a time.
During the recent filming of the “Legacy Leaders”
project, captured in the following pages, corporate
leadership and an elite group of field leaders reflected
on their shared pasts and mused about the unique
opportunity they and millions of other Amway
distributors around the world have been given to be
a part of something that is so much bigger than each
of them. They shared what it has meant to them to be
part of the unfolding story and how those things that
are uniquely Amway have shaped each of them.
Providing the Chance to Dream
Amway Independent Business Owner leaders,
icons in their own right, were gathered around the
boardroom table, poised in anticipation of what
Amway co-founder, Rich DeVos, was about to say …
PAGE 2 |
“When Jay and I started this business, we were just
a couple of 23-year-old struggling guys who knew it
was important to have a business of our own, but not
be alone. We knew it was important to have people
helping you. We sat around a table – with Dutts,
Victors, Hansens – and developed the business plan.
Who would have thought it would get this big?
Letting Leaders Emerge
“The group seated here is a successful group of people
of achievement. Many were successful before choosing
Amway. You are an amazing group, sharing this
business with other people all over the world.
“This is a business for the whole family. The legacy
you leave behind is your family. I know this business is
in good shape. Steve, Doug, and Dick have built this
business more than Jay and I did. Before Jay died he
said, ‘The number one thing you have to do is protect
the business.’ Doug and Steve are doing that with a
completely different responsibility than we had – they
have to take care of the whole world.”
“People don’t know how to dream anymore. They
have to know, ‘I can do better, I can be something
more.’ People can’t stop dreaming, and we can’t stop
providing the opportunity – someone out there needs
us! We need to give hope and encouragement. We’re in
the business of helping people help themselves.”
“This business allows us to discover leaders, to give
everyone a chance to lead. This is not just a job;
people get in this business to emerge. It is about
pushing people up. It’s the stuff you do every day in
your leadership.
JIM DORNAN
“Isn’t it amazing that we all still just
want to sit and listen to Rich talk?”

Dream
SHARE THE
It was 1959 when Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel
formed the fledgling American Way, later abbreviated
to Amway.
With its humble beginnings in a former gas station
in the tiny town of Ada, Michigan, who could have
dreamed their new business would one day circle
the globe!

“We’re thrilled to see our kids following
in the business. There is joy in doing this
business and doing it together.”

Amway was not Rich and Jay’s first business venture
together, but, without question, it has been the most
successful. They believed they could help people
achieve their dreams by offering the best products,
developing the best business opportunity, and offering
that opportunity to anyone. And for millions who
followed in their footsteps, it has been exactly that.
“The first time I met Rich and Jay, they were coming
from this little country town. I was in awe of who they
were, what they stood for, and how they wanted to
share their dream with anyone who would listen,”
remembers Ron Puryear.
JIM DORNAN
Business
AN ALL-AMERICAN
“I had never heard anything
like Selling America. It was
a stunning message that
had a huge impact on me.”
Clashes between communism and capitalism
dominated the 1950s. An appreciation for America’s
majesty and “the good life” was celebrated through
strong patriotic support of the U.S. that flooded onto
main street America, including Ada, Michigan. Rich
and Jay loved everything this country stood for –
especially freedom and independence.
Seven years into building Amway, Rich gave a
speech, entitled Selling America, to 1,800 Junior
Achievement students. The principles he shared
that day are the cornerstones of the AMWAY™
business today: Use your gifts and talents to make
a contribution, take on leadership roles to change
the lives of those around you, and use words of
encouragement to change a single life.
“I actually took that speech with me – it was on a
record – and played it for my high school government
class,” says Jody Victor.
“I had never heard anything like Selling America. It
was a stunning message that had a huge impact on
me,” shares Jim Dornan.
“HELLO, FELLOW ACHIEVERS”
… were the opening
words of Rich DeVos’
1967 landmark address to
the group of 1,800 young
people attending a Junior
Achievement conference.

Fundamentals
FOUNDERS’
Freedom was so important to Rich and Jay that they
made it one of their founding principles, along with
Family, Hope, and Reward, which are now known
as the Founders’ Fundamentals. “The Founders’
Fundamentals were the reason we got into the business
and the reason we stayed,” says Dexter Yager.
“They taught us about setting goals, having control
over your life – time and finances, and entrepreneurism,
which were concepts we’d never heard anybody talk
about back then,” says Jim Dornan.
RON PURYEAR
“Nobody had ever been interested
in our success before, except us.
So that was amazing to me.”
“I was so impressed that their compensation plan,
their formula for success, was based on the success
of others,” says Ron Puryear. “Nobody had ever been
interested in our success before, except us. So that
was amazing to me.”
“For many, this business was and is the chance to
come home and be with family, to do the important
things with their family,” imparts Georgia Lee Puryear.
“Their dream was always more about values than
tangibles,” says Jody Victor about the co-founders.
“To me, Rich and Jay were the highest representations
of integrity and honesty,” adds Bill Britt. “I didn’t really
know what this business was all about until I came up
to Ada and met them. And I still believe honesty and
integrity are what makes our business so strong.”
Our Inspiration.
Motivation.
And Foundation.
FREEDOM:
To own your own business,
work hard, and grow.
FAMILY:
Our essential support and
encouragement.
HOPE:
For all to have personal and
professional success.

Magic
TOGETHER THEY WERE
JIM JANZ
“They were each
very compelling in
their own way,
and made perfect
partners.”
“What I admired about them was their leadership
and their calmness, their confidence,” says Jim
Janz, noting that the two men were very different,
“but together, they were magic, they were
just amazing.”
Rich was known as the “charismatic” one and his
reputation for motivational speaking is legendary
(and continues to this day). Jay, who passed
away in 2004, was quieter, but he was a brilliant
businessman, especially when it came to finances.
The Janz family often vacationed with the DeVos
and Van Andel families, and Jim says, “I’ll never
forget one night we were on their yacht (called the
Enterprise) in the Chesapeake Bay. We went out
for a clambake, and after the dinner Rich said,
‘You still hungry?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ So we stopped at
McDonald’s on the way back to the yacht. Now Jay
would never have done that.”
PAGE 10 |
With Jay, he says, the activities were more
planned. “You’d go for a fabulous lunch on a
Caribbean island somewhere, then walk a volcano,
then go for a helicopter ride, all perfectly arranged
and executed.”
“They were each very compelling in their own way,
and made perfect partners,” says Jim Janz.

Dreams
FUELED BY
PAUL MILLER
“When I saw the
buildings and walked
the grounds, I was
transformed. It was
a real ‘wow’ moment
for me.”
“Perfect partners” offering the dream of operating a
successful AMWAY™ business fed into the dreams,
as humble as they were, that these early pioneers
had for their own lives.
“My wife just wanted a sofa with good springs in it
and I wanted a car that would start reliably in the
winter,” says Jim Janz. The Yagers, who had seven
kids, were hoping to buy a new clothes dryer. Rex
Renfrow says his goal was to bring his family some
financial security “and to take them on a vacation
once in a while that was someplace other than
visiting family in Tennessee.”
PAGE 12 |
Paul Miller was in law school looking to make an
extra $400 spending money, but he changed his
mind after taking a trip to Ada and realizing what the
potential was. “When I saw the buildings and walked
the grounds, I was transformed. It was a real ‘wow’
moment for me.”
Success
7
PRINCIPLES FOR
More than 30 years ago, an early vice president
at Amway handed Jim Janz a newspaper clipping
listing the six things people want out of owning
their own business. “I came up with number seven,”
says Jim, “and I still use these today. In fact, I’m
giving a talk on them this weekend.”
#1 BELONGING:
“People have a need to belong and this business
provides that, both with the company and in our
own individual organizations. It’s the glue that
keeps it together.”
#2 RECOGNITION:
“Recognize people even at the lowest levels. When
they do 150 points, give them a Believer pin. It will
make them believe they can actually do it.”
#3 FREEDOM:
“Understanding the freedom aspect of this
business is huge.”
#4 SECURITY:
“All the crazy things going on in our economy right
now, the stock market, the government, none of it
really affects our business at all; it’s as secure
as ever.”
Paul & Leslie
MILLER

IBOs since 1974
#5 CASH FLOW:
“The fact that people can create income very
quickly, within 90 days, is great.”
#6 LIFESTYLE:
“We offer people what they want: control over
their lives.”
“An IBO doesn’t get laid off from doing
their business; it is an opportunity for
college grads who can’t find jobs; it is a
wide-open opportunity for people.”
#7 SIGNIFICANCE:
“At the end of the day, everyone wants to know
they’ve made a difference in people’s lives. A
person wrapped up in himself makes a very small
package. It’s all about reaching out to others and
helping them succeed.”

Products
HANDFUL OF
A dream for something better and a handful of products
that they were confident consumers needed was how
these first Independent Business Owners started out.
Jody Victor clearly remembers one of the products.
“Rich and Jay brought a bottle of FRISK™ liquid organic
concentrate to my parents’ house. We lived in Ohio,
and Akron was a huge producer of car tires. The guys
on the line would use FRISK to wash the rubber from
their hands. The formula would later become L.O.C.,”
which stood for Liquid Organic Cleaner.
PEGGY BRIT T
Jody used to drive a van to high school so he could
pick up products for his parents at the warehouse after
school ended. “I did that five days a week,” he says.
Product pick-up and delivery were a big part of
running an AMWAY ™ business back then. “There was
a lot of manual labor involved, that’s for sure!” laughs
Peggy Britt. “Our carport served as a warehouse, and
everybody’s products came there; then they’d come
and pick them up. We’d be moving and unloading
these big boxes and putting products in piles for each
of the downlines, and people would be coming and
going all the time.”
Bill Britt also recalls giving the delivery truck drivers
$5 so they’d call to let them know when the delivery
was going to be made. “If nobody was home, they
wouldn’t leave the boxes. They’d take it all back to
“When people would come and get
their products, they’d gather around
and literally sit on the soapboxes and
Bill would talk to them and motivate
them. It was such an exciting time.”
the warehouse in Georgia! So the guy would call me
and I’d take a break from my job with the city and run
home to get the delivery. I’ll never forget the time this
big ol’ 18-wheeler got stuck in the mud in our little
circular drive.”
“It was hard work, but we had fun,” continues Peggy.
“When people would come and get their products,
they’d gather around and literally sit on the soapboxes
and Bill would talk to them and motivate them. It was
such an exciting time. We were also one of the first
and best customers of UPS. Before that, we’d pick up
products at the bus station.”
Bill adds, “But it was so exciting because people were
making money for their efforts. Everybody was willing
to do whatever it took to see what would happen next.”
“To Nancy and I, the best Amway ‘product’ was always
the opportunity itself,” says Jim Dornan. “It was the IBO
compensation plan that was so compelling. And that’s
still what makes Amway so unique today.”

Paperwork
MOUNDS OF
Early business owners also talk about the paperwork
required. “You’d need a ping-pong table to spread
out all the orders and try to figure out all the bonus
checks for everyone,” says Jody Victor, noting that
IBOs used to pay all their own bonuses to downlines
before the corporation began doing it.
“We spent hours on administrative work, calling
people at 10 o’clock on a Sunday night to remind
them to get their orders in,” agrees Leslie Miller,
adding, “This was after spending a full day with the
kids. My goodness, I’m surprised we stuck with it!”
“Everything used to be done by hand and all you
had was an adding machine or calculator,” shares
Peggy Britt.
Today most everything an IBO needs to manage his
or her business is done on a computer or handheld device. DITTO Delivery, Amway calculating
bonus checks, Amway direct shipping to IBOs and
their customers, and cell phones all make following
through on “paperwork” much easier today.

“You’d need a ping-pong table

bonus checks for everyone.”
Learning
FROM THE PAST
Being successful usually involves a person’s ability
to learn from mistakes, make adjustments, and
keep moving forward. These first IBOs were quick
studies, as shown by their business success today!
“We thought we could grow our business in one fell
swoop. We’d run an ad, rent a room, get cookies
and coffee … and then no one would show up! We
were expecting the ads to do our work for us,” tells
Jim Janz.
Tim Foley, a former professional football player, says
the biggest lesson he learned was “not acting like
a ‘boss.’ You can’t just tell people what to do; you
need to get to know them, be a friend, and help
them succeed. It didn’t take me long to figure out
that the business was more like a football team, and
we all had to work together.”
Paul Miller says his biggest mistake “was not
showing the opportunity to the sharpest people I
knew. It took me one and a half years to do that,
and those people jumped in; it made sense
to them.”
Kathy Victor says her biggest mistake was prejudging
people. “I tended to divide prospects into those who
could build the business and those who would just be
a customer. I wasn’t patient enough in answering their
questions. I wanted to move too quickly.”

LEGACY LEADERS
Achieving
Making an adjustment because of a mistake is usually
manageable. Overcoming a personal doubt can prove
to be a more formidable task. Although it’s hard to
believe seeing them today, many of these leaders say
the most significant challenge they had to overcome
was their own personal fears.
PERSONAL GROWTH
DEX TER YAGER
“The only way to get
over something is to
face it head on.”
“Ron was such a help to allow me to become more
confident,” recalls Georgia Lee Puryear. “I needed
and wanted to change, and he just kept telling me
I could do it. And the more we associated with
successful people, the more confident I became.”
People may be surprised to learn that Dexter Yager
had to overcome a stutter, which is not easy to do.
“But the only way to get over something is to face it
head on,” he says.
Paul Miller says he sees fear getting in the way
of people’s success today, too. “We’ve all had
rejections, from family members and everybody else
– heck, my own brother laughed at me – but you
have to do something to get your confidence level
back up; read some self-help books or listen to some
motivational tapes. And know that when your belief
level increases, so will your self-confidence.”
The Janzes have a saying that works for many:
“Do the thing you fear the most and death of fear
is certain.” “Jim was 21 and I was 20 and we were
living month to month when we started our AMWAY™
business. We had no idea the potential of this
business when we started. It was a trip to Ada that
created our ‘aha’ moment and turned the page in our
life,” shares Sharon Janz.
Having a supportive spouse has always been a big
help getting through the tough times, especially at the
beginning. “In all my 40-plus years in the business,
Peg never made one negative comment to me about
it, not once,” says Bill Britt. “She believed in our future
like I did, and backed me 100 percent. I couldn’t have
a more perfect partner.”
Talk about unwarranted fear – Jim Dornan has to
chuckle when he thinks about the reaction he got
from some people when he first showed the plan 40
years ago. “There were maybe 50 Diamonds back
then, and the company had about $100 million in
sales,” he recalls. “People would say to me, ‘I think
we’re too late; there are already so many people in the
business, there’s nobody left to sell it to.’ And today,
we’ve got Diamonds and Emeralds in our group
who weren’t even born then,” he states about their
business, which has grown so large they have nearly
300 employees worldwide who help them run it.

Opportunity
A WELCOMING
Imagine the fear of joining a traditionally couplesbased business, located in the heart of the Midwest,
if English is your second language or you’re a single
woman. The difference with Amway is that this is a
wonderful business for those new to the country, or
for anyone seeking an opportunity for a better life, to
achieve “the American dream.”
Anna Kim, who came to the U.S. from Korea in 1988,
had been a kindergarten teacher there, but had to
turn to waitressing and working the graveyard shift
when she and her husband, Seung Ho, an artist, first
arrived in New York with their son, Jay. Like many
immigrants who have to start over, the couple was
barely getting by financially and living with relatives
when Anna started her AMWAY™ business to try to
earn some extra income.
Then, Seung Ho was struck with a serious illness and
was unable to help her. “It was very stressful, but I
just kept working harder,” recalls Anna, who went on
to build one of the first large Korean organizations in
the U.S.
Jay says it was a family business from the very start.
“All the materials were in English, so I helped with
translation into Korean; we had to literally put sticker
labels on the products in catalogs. We each did
whatever we could. My mom was like supermom
back then,” he laughs. “She still is!”
They also say they can’t imagine what their lives
would be like had they not pursued their AMWAY
business. “We don’t talk about that because it’s too
horrible to think about,” says Jay, recalling the days
when they had to portion out noodles for dinner.
And for women, the role of women in the business
has changed quite a bit over the decades. Kathy
Victor says, “This is a great business for women
because it’s such a safe, nurturing environment. And
it’s one of the few, even today, where women truly
are equal and have the exact same opportunities to
grow a business as men.”

“My mom was like supermom
back then … she still is!”

World
FREEDOM TO SEE THE
THE KIMS
“Vietnam, Korea, Latin
America … the trips are
amazing. We love everything
about this business.”
Getting through the personal obstacles and building
a successful business offers many options for
families that a traditional business may not. Many
Amway kids grow up in the business and enjoy the
perks of traveling with their parents. IBO families
will tell you that travel is one of the most treasured
aspects of their businesses, whether it be workrelated like Diamond Club in Hawaii, or the launch
of a new global market, or personal travel to
destinations around the world.
Indeed, when asked what they appreciate most
about the lifestyle they’ve achieved, virtually every
single one of these legendary leaders had the same
answer: Freedom to set their own goals and go
after them. Freedom to vacation when they want,
to build their business during the time that works
best for them, to be home with family, and to do it all
based on their own values. “That’s why our ancestors
came to America,” says Dexter Yager. “Everybody
wants freedom.
“When our youngest was 15, he was complaining
that he couldn’t go to Diamond Club because he
needed to be in school. I asked him how many times
he’d been and he said ‘15,’ so I told him he really
couldn’t complain!” shares Jim Janz. “The travel, the
lifestyle in this business – there’s nothing like it.”
“Of course, when you get to be our age, you want to
be a homebody again; but what’s great is that now
you have the freedom to pick where you want to live
and then you get to spend your time there,” he adds
about living in Florida and North Carolina.
“Vietnam, Korea, Latin America … the trips are
amazing. We love everything about this business,”
the Kims share.
“Seeing the world with our kids gave us some of the
best experiences of our lives,” states Dexter Yager,
whose business started in Rome, New York, and is
now international.

Overcoming
HARD TIMES
In addition to the fun perks associated with this
business, it also allows people to be around family
when you need them the most. Many leaders were
touched by overwhelming hardship in their lives: the
Puryears lost their son, Brian, when he was just 27;
Rex Renfrow’s beloved wife and his two children all
died within a few years of each other; Dexter Yager
suffered a severe stroke when he was in his 40s; and
the Dornans’ son, Eric, was born with spina bifida, and
underwent 11 brain surgeries.
What sustained them during these difficult times? It
was their unwavering faith and the friendships they’ve
made in the business.
“We knew we could use losing a child as a reason not
to continue building our business, but we ‘had to buck
up,’ and that was a wise decision because it helped
us get through that painful time,” shares Georgia Lee
Puryear. “That hard time and this business opened our
minds to a new level of faith and hope. We know we’ll
see Brian again.”
“I had people praying for me all over the world,” says
Rex Renfrow about the trying periods in his life. “I just
kept going and going and tried not to dwell on the
past,” he says.
PAGE 22 |
“Our life would be different today if Dexter had been
at a job instead of having built the business when he
had his stroke. We didn’t have to worry about where
our next meal was coming from. We always tell new
people, that’s one of the major things they should be
looking for,” says Birdie Yager.
Jim Dornan had just quit his job after reaching Platinum
and Nancy was already a stay-at-home mom when Eric
was born. “Although we were worried about finances,
we were very happy that we both had the freedom to
be at the hospital as much as we needed to be during
that time,” recalls Nancy Dornan.

“You have to remain goal-oriented or it’s
hard to lead. Most of our goals now are
about helping others succeed – in the
AMWAY ™ business and through Network
of Caring.”
Investing
IN OTHERS
As they achieved success in their lives, these
amazing leaders have received much satisfaction
from investing in their local and global communities.
Many mention that Rich and Jay set the standard
for doing that. “When you go to Grand Rapids and
see what those two families have done for that
community, it’s just incredible,” says Rex Renfrow,
who wrote a check for $10,000 to a friend to help
cover the costs of shipping desperately needed
supplies to Haiti.
From building baseball fields for their hometown, like
the Victors have done, to purchasing wheelchairs for
the disabled, like the Dornans have, these leaders
have given literally millions of dollars – and raised
millions more – to help those who need a hand up.
“Investing in others has always been part of the
Amway legacy and we feel privileged to be able to
do our part,” says Tim Foley, who recently received
a Founders Council Matching Grant from Amway for
his work with Habitat for Humanity in Guatemala.
The Dornans’ foundation, Network of Caring, also
a recent recipient of a Founders Council Matching
Grant, has partnered with agencies around the
globe, such as World Vision, to build orphanages and
schools for thousands of children. The couple says
their mission is two-fold: “Yes, we’re trying to make a
difference in the lives of the children, but we’re also
trying to raise the consciousness of people,” explains
Jim Dornan. “So we’re involving local leaders and
getting them to think in new ways about how they can
help equip a hospital or sponsor a school.”

“They don’t have to work, yet here they are flying

and souls are in this business.”
“They’re really putting their own stamp on it,” concurs
Jim Janz, who says he’s probably one of the few
people who gets away with calling Doug “Dougie”
because he’s known him so long.
Anna Kim says she sees the same combination of
leadership and humility in the sons that she did in their
fathers. “I remember once I was having my picture
taken with Steve, and he was so tall, he had to bend
way down to my height, and I just felt that was very
symbolic,” she says.

She was also on a flight to Africa for an EDC trip once
with Doug and his wife, Maria. “I watched their behavior
on the trip and was so impressed with their unity and
the love they had for each other. To me, that embodies
what this business is all about: relationships.”
Business
A LEGACY
Legacy: Anything handed down from an ancestor.
These legacy leaders have handed down to their
children the characteristics of personal integrity,
entrepreneurial spirit, work ethic, leadership skills, and
the ability to dream – the same characteristics they first
found compelling about Rich and Jay and used to build
their individual businesses.
For next-generation IBOs, watching their leader
parents work together to build their AMWAY™ business
has inspired them to join their parents in the “family
business” or start businesses of their own.
In many ways, the second and third generation IBOs
face the same challenges that Steve Van Andel and
Doug DeVos do: How do you follow in the giant
footsteps of your extremely successful parents?
“You learn from them, then lace up your own shoes
and start walking,” advises Jody Victor, who was
instrumental in formulating the company’s succession
planning program – which is still being developed –
to ensure that there are options that make sense for
however a family wants to structure the business.
PAGE 24 |
Steve and Doug, too, had to learn the business for
themselves. “It wasn’t just handed to them, they had
to work their way up through the organization,” Leslie
Miller emphasizes. “We really admire that.”
“In their case, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree,”
says Jody Victor. “Steve and Doug are both great
guys and I’m convinced Amway would not be the
international powerhouse that it is today without
their leadership.”

“Young people today
understand economic
freedom. It doesn’t
matter the age or
the country – the
business is a perfect
fit. This business
translates culturally.
People everywhere
want something
for themselves.”
“We’ve gone high tech with high
touch. Technology doesn’t replace,
it enhances. We have the same
principles that were there yesterday
and we use them today. This business
stands the test of time. People
continue to be intrigued.”
Georgia Lee Puryear says she sees “a lot of working
mommas out there who would rather be home with
their families, and that’s always going to be a big
draw. You can do it in your spare time, fit it into your
life however you want to, and set your own goals. You
can’t really lose.”
“People will always have hopes and dreams, and that’s
why this business will always be attractive,” says Dexter
Yager, who may have been the first one to come up
with a phrase that has passed through legions of IBOs
over the years: “Don’t let anyone steal your dreams.”
Paul Miller says that with today’s economic
uncertainties, the opportunity is more appealing than
ever. “College kids can’t find jobs, unemployment is at
9.2 percent, people with master’s degrees are getting
laid off, and financial planners are telling people they
better have a back-up plan. So to me, this is one of the
best times ever to start an AMWAY™ business.”
Years
“We’re humbled by it all,” adds Ron Puryear. “And very,
very grateful.”
THE NEXT 50
So what do these leaders see for the future of the
AMWAY™ business, after watching its first 50 years?
“With all the improvements in technology and multiple
languages, plus all the health and beauty products that
are so relevant in the marketplace, I just see it getting
better and better every year,” observes Anna Kim.
“The fact that we became an internet-driven business
early on shows that we know where the world is going;
even old timers like us recognize that,” says Jim Janz,
who delivers online seminars every Thursday night to a
list of about 700 people. “Plus, programs like the Fast
Track Incentive Program are fantastic, not to mention all
the support vehicles like ACHIEVE magazine, which is
great, and the Achievers events; that team does a great
job of making those absolutely superb every year.”
®
“What the company is doing for IBOs today
is marvelous,” says Ron Puryear. “From the
changes to the Amway IBO Compensation Plan,
to the expanded training and all the great new
products – plus the advertising and sponsorships
with Miss America and Kurt Warner have added
so much to our credibility. Amway has done a lot
in the last few years to make our opportunity more
accepted as a mainstream business and to help
IBOs sell our brand in the marketplace.”
“I can hardly wrap my head around all the great
changes the company has made,” says Leslie Miller.
“It’s so cutting edge it blows my mind!”
“I truly believe it can become ‘the most admired
business in the world,’” adds Ron Puryear, referring
to a corporate goal for the future.
PAGE 26 |
Tim Foley says it’s the things that haven’t changed
that will keep this business viable in the future. “The
real heart and soul of this opportunity hasn’t changed
at all: It’s a way for people to have their own business
without spending a lot of money to do it. They can grow
it as much or as little as they want, and they get all the
support they need from two great partners, Amway
and their upline. There’s just nothing else like it, period.”
Jim Dornan no doubt speaks for all of these leaders
when he says:
“I can’t imagine anybody being more blessed than we
are. We are so thankful for our lives, our memories,
the opportunities we’ve had. Good grief, it’s almost
overwhelming to think about it.”

M
ike Schindler served his country by
enlisting in the Navy. Now he’s serving
others who serve their country by providing them
with guidance to help preserve their families,
strengthen their marriages, and curb domestic
violence and suicide.
He founded Operation Military Family in 2006 in an
effort to help reduce the number of divorces among
military families resulting from long separations
during deployment and the psychological stress of
post-combat life. The mission of the company – which
offers relationship-strengthening events and programs,
educational materials, and informational products –
has expanded to help military families resolve other
problems common among them, such as housing and
health issues, and delays in veteran benefits.

“We make a difference by finding out what people’s
needs are and connecting them to the right benefit
or service,” says Mike. “That shores up their family
and oftentimes their marriage, which helps keep this
country stronger.”
Mike’s blog, The Military Wire, is an online forum for
raising public awareness about issues that affect
service members and their families.
“Our family made a decision to invest our personal
resources and start this company,” shares Mike, who
lives in Edmonds, Washington, with his wife, Keri, and
two young daughters, Taylor and Reilley. “Over the
past five to six years, we’ve made great sacrifices
– personally and financially – in an effort to help
turn the ship around on veteran suicide, domestic
violence, and increased divorce rates. We kind of
went all in on this.”
THE REWARD IS KEEPING THE FAMILY TOGETHER
Mike was 8 or 9 years old when he decided that
he would someday serve in the military. His father
was a civilian engineer who worked for the Air Force
Command and the Army Corps of Engineers, so Mike
has been around men and women in uniform for as
far back as he can remember.
He enlisted in the Navy in 1988 and served on the
USS Mauna Kea. He completed active duty service
in 1990 and active reserve service in 1994. Mike
says his proudest moment in the fleet was when he
first made rank, as a petty officer third class.
Since leaving the Navy, he has tried to stay
connected to the service in some way, most recently
by helping members of the military through his
company and his writings.
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
In his book, Operation Military Family: How
to Strengthen Your Military Marriage and
Save Your Family, Mike writes that when
a spouse goes off to war, his or her
marriage has a 1-in-5 chance of ending
within two years.
The efforts of Mike and his company have not gone
unnoticed. The Washington State Department of
Veterans Affairs presented him with its Outstanding
Patriotic Service Award in 2010. ParentMap magazine
recognized him as one of its “2011 Superheroes for
Washington Families.”
“So it’s come with its awards, but it’s certainly been
financially challenging,” he says. “But at the same
time, what price can you put on a child who still has
their mom and dad?”
“
When you see someone filled with such God-given
passion surrounding a cause that is so great, you want
that person to know that all of the sacrifice, strain,
stress, and sleepless nights filled with turmoil
wondering if you are doing the right thing,
doing what God intended, has been
worth it and does matter.”

Adapt and Overcome
S
tephen Willoby survived a tour of duty in Iraq
as a bomb-disposal technician with the Air Force,
only to nearly die after breaking his neck in a diving
accident. The tragedy left the former staff sergeant
unable to move his legs and control his hands, and
with limited use of his arms.
“In the military, we always said, ‘Adapt and
overcome,’” he says. “That’s all anyone can do in
the face of adversity. How you adapt determines
how you’re going to live the rest of your life,”
believes Stephen.
His years of military training, coupled with the unconditional love and support of his wife, Erin, have
driven Stephen to do his best to adapt to his situation
and overcome the obstacles blocking his way.
For his efforts, Stephen Willoby is the recipient of the
2011 Amway Hero Award for Determination.
GIVE YOUR BEST
Stephen, 28, and Erin, 29, met while they were
serving in the Air Force, where both were trained in
explosive-ordnance disposal. They married in March
2004, divorced a few years later, then reconnected
after Stephen’s accident in September 2007. They
remarried while he was still in his hospital bed and
now live in Waddell, Arizona.
“My wife is my biggest and strongest supporter in all
aspects of my life,” says Stephen. “She is my rock,
my cheerleader, my reminder, and the reason I do
“
Stephen is bound and determined to not let his
condition stop him from living life and to encourage
others to pursue their dreams regardless of their
obstacles. He knows that there is a reason
for all of this, and he has taken on the
responsibility to fulfill his purpose.
He is truly my hero!”
virtually everything I do. Also, she is the most difficult
therapist I have ever had.”
Erin has been her husband’s primary caregiver for
four years. She not only helps feed, shower, and
dress him, she also motivates him daily in a thousand
different ways.
“When I experience challenges – don’t want to make
a phone call, when I don’t want to go to a function
because I’m sick, and when I just feel tired – I think
of her and try and push it that much further,” he says.
“She gives me her best every day. All I can do is try
and do the same.”
MAKE THE MOST OF SECOND CHANCES
Stephen has always had a desire to help people,
whether through his Air Force job rendering explosive
devices safe for others (his unit disarmed more
than 160 bombs during his six months in Iraq) or
through their AMWAY™ business they call Second
Chance Enterprises, which he and his wife started in
September 2008. He says he believes being an IBO
will have a greater impact on more lives than anything
he has ever done.
There’s certainly far less risk involved than in his
previous career, where one mistake can be fatal.
Military bomb-disposal technicians have a short but
discomforting saying: “Initial success or total failure.”
“Luckily, in this business there are no real penalties
for failing unless you fail to try again,” he believes.
From his perspective, Stephen reasons that he
owes it to the men and women of the military who
were less fortunate than him – those who made the
ultimate sacrifice for their country – to do his best to
break down the barriers before him. He’s determined
to do so.
“I have been given a second chance and do not want
to waste it,” he says. “I have too many friends who
never got a second chance.”

Changing Lives One Build at a Time
T
im Foley earned two Super Bowl rings as a
standout defensive back with the great Miami
Dolphins teams of the 1970s, but he’d rather talk
about his recent work building homes in Central
America than his past accomplishments as a pro
football player.
He says while most people start AMWAY™
businesses to bring in some extra income, it’s easy to
become so engrossed in earning cash that you forget
the importance of giving. “Making money is one thing,
but if you get too carried away with that, you may lose
the purpose of your life.”
Through Habitat for Humanity®, Tim has led a group
of volunteers for the past five years – including
Amway Independent Business Owners and Amway
employees – to Guatemala to construct homes. The
number of volunteers has grown from fewer than 10
the first year, to more than 80 in 2011.
40 HOMES IN FIVE YEARS – THAT’S THE GOAL
While the homes help make lives better for families in
that Central American nation, volunteers participating
in the builds also take away a great deal from their
work there, he says.
“It is a life-changing experience,” says Tim. “We
complain about things here in the United States,
but when you go down there and then come back,
you complain much less. You always go home
thinking, what the heck was wrong with me and what
was I complaining about? It’s a healthy experience
and you can’t go down there without being affected,”
believes Tim.
For his efforts, Tim Foley is the recipient of the 2011
Amway Hero Award for Generosity.
KNOWING HIS PURPOSE IN LIFE
His adoptive parents were generous people who
always encouraged him and their other two adopted
children to give. As a Founders Crown Ambassador,
he tries to encourage other IBOs, by his example, to
give generously of their time and money.
“I believe if ‘The Guy In Charge’ lets you make some
money, then you ought to do something valuable with
it as opposed to not doing anything valuable,” says
Tim, who lives in Tavares, Florida. “That was how I
was raised.”
PAGE 34 |
Not one to relive the “glory days,” Tim says he
“rarely” thinks about football these days. Instead,
he enjoys talking about how much he and the other
volunteers have gotten out of building homes over
the years.
In an effort to continue volunteer opportunities for
home builds, Amway pledged $500,000 to Habitat
for Humanity for the purchase of developable land,
and eFinity pledged another $250,000 to build a
community of 40 homes over a five-year period in
Zacapa, Guatemala.
As a result of Tim’s vision, Amway IBOs now plan to
build homes in nine other Latin American countries
under the program, says Gary Kovar, leadership
development officer for Habitat for Humanity
International.
“Now we’re kind of spreading out,” says Tim. “We kind
of got the hang of it, so we’re going to start building in
Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia – all throughout Latin
America because that’s where a lot of the IBOs in the
eFinity group live. That should be fun.”
Tim is a humble person who isn’t interested
in receiving personal recognition for his
accomplishments, says Gary. Instead, his motivation
is to help those in need while setting a philanthropic
example for others.
“Tim doesn’t do it to say, ‘Look what I’ve done,’” says
Gary. “For Tim, it’s never been about the dollars. It’s
been about, ‘How do I help other IBOs in my group be
better people?’”

Fulfilling High Expectations

A
s long as Ulises Feliz can remember, people
have expected a lot from him. And while
poets and philosophers influenced his thinking on
leadership, it was his family’s high expectations that
drove him to become an outstanding leader.
“Everybody around me was expecting excellence
from me and I was ready to affirm those hopes,”
says Ulises. “There began my search of doing beyond
the average thing. This expectation played the role of
me being someone who was seeking to stand
out anywhere.”
He believes everyone is born with leadership
potential, but it’s the willingness to take on great
responsibility that makes a person a true leader.
Ulises, a Founders Diamond, has made it his mission
to help fully develop the leadership qualities inherent
in those IBOs who are downline from him.
For his efforts, Ulises Feliz is the recipient of the
2011 Amway Hero Award for Leadership.
GIVING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
“The fact of being nominated is something that fills
me with satisfaction,” says Ulises, who lives in the
Dominican Republic. “It represents, to a great extent,
what others think about you and what you mean in
their lives.”
He takes pride in being someone who has given so
much of his time to help discover and develop the
talents of others, so that they, too, can excel.
“The moments that make me feel the proudest
are each of the moments in which someone
we have mentored reaches a valuable goal or
learns something new,” says Ulises. “I want to
be remembered as a person who gave everything
possible to help others excel, as someone who
stood out as a leader for his aptitude in doing the
just thing, and for helping to discover and develop
the talents of others.”
He has a simple inspirational saying he shares with
IBOs: “For those who believe, anything is possible.”
His strongest leadership skill, he believes, is
mediating differences that come up among
other leaders.
Ulises has written a book that he hopes will someday
be published, tentatively titled Better Rich and Honest.
It summarizes his vision of ethics and business in an
environment of leadership.
His biggest desire is to help others fulfill their
potential and overcome their challenges while still
maintaining their values. In turn, their success
inspires him. He says besides helping other IBOs to
become better leaders and live improved lives, his
AMWAY™ business has allowed him to provide for his
own family and support his community.
RECOGNIZING HIS GREATEST INFLUENCE
When he was younger, Spanish poets Miguel
Hernández and Antonio Machado, and the Greek
philosopher Plato, were among the many great minds
that started Ulises thinking about what it takes to be
a good leader. But no one influenced him more than
his own mother, Flor Talaveras, a doctor who raised
seven children.
She taught Ulises to think big, be positive, and reject
any thoughts of being poor and living with limitations.
“She is my example because of her humbleness, the
greatness of her vision of life, and her faith in God,
her children, and her own personal power.”
“
Ulises is a 360-degree leader able to see the
best in people. I thank God and the AMWAY
business opportunity for putting in my life
an example to follow, a leader to emulate, a
trustworthy friend, an ethical guide to
work with, a shoulder to mourn on, a
hand to help me get up again.”

but left wanting to do more for the
orphanage after seeing its primitive
conditions. Jorge and some of his

the orphanage. It has since delivered

Living the dream: “I wanted to create some additional, ongoing income,” says
Randy, a senior manager in telecommunications, “because our oldest child has
spina bifida. Then we learned about the AMWAY™ business opportunity and
realized we could leave a legacy.” Gurjeet has already replaced her income and
left her job as a monitor operator.
Looking to the future: “We’re looking forward to spending more time with the
kids (Deep, 24; Robby, 22; and Michael, 18) and loved ones,” Gurjeet says. “We’re
going to be able to do what we want in life and enjoy peace of mind,” adds Randy.
“We can enjoy complete control over our time and finances.”

Ines Guevara and Pedro Lopez | California
Living the dream: “We just love hanging out together,” says Deudiel of his family,
wife Angelica and kids Napoleon (21), Diana (20), and Deudiel, Jr. (13). Since
Deudiel sold his last landscaping accounts, they’ve had more time for travel (their
favorite place is Orlando), eating out, and bonding at the mall and at home.
Living the dream: “Grateful” is how Ines says she feels to be freed from the
general merchandising kiosk she and Pedro used to own and run. He certainly
doesn’t miss the long hours in his cab. “We had faith that our AMWAY business
would give us the results we were looking for,” she says, including more time
together as a family.
Looking to the future: “My dream is too big for my years left on this earth,”
acknowledges Deudiel, who desires to eradicate poverty around the world. Says
Angelica, who used to think she wasn’t Amway IBO material, “I want to change the
self-limiting mentality of the people we meet so their lives can be transformed by
this business like ours were.”
Looking to the future: Pedro and Ines, along with daughters Emily (21), Roxana
(19), and Arianna (16), share “many goals of helping people and animals,” Ines
says. They’ve already rescued seven dogs, and they hope someday to give two
boys a forever family. They’re also looking forward to traveling more and coming
home to the house of their dreams.
Marina Bernal | California
Shi-Rong Han | Nevada
Living the dream: Marina and her son Christopher (9) “love to hop in the car or
on a plane and just go.” The former restaurant manager says the best part of her
AMWAY™ business is “the freedom to choose how I spend my time. I don’t have
to ask permission if I want to go on vacation.”
Living the dream: “I didn’t expect this much!” Shi-Rong says of the many
benefits she’s experienced from her AMWAY business. She was able to send
her son, Shi Han, to private school and leave her full-time job. They’ve “enjoyed
having more time to spend together as a family and to travel the world.”
Looking to the future: “I want my son to see the world and experience other
cultures,” including her native El Salvador, Marina says. “There are so many
people who need help, and we need to share what we have.” Sharing the “good
news” of the AMWAY opportunity with others “doesn’t feel like work,” she says. “I
love what I do!”
Looking to the future: “The most valuable dream I have is helping others with
their own AMWAY businesses,” she says. “I want people to know this business
can turn your life around. It’s a tool for helping you achieve your dreams.” Best of
all, “It’s a teamwork business,” so you’re never without support. Helping others
“doesn’t feel like work to me!”
Belkis and Ramon Garcia | Dominican Republic
Anita and Hari Anantha | Ohio
Living the dream: “The AMWAY business opportunity is truly the opportunity of
a lifetime,” believes Ramon. He and Belkis struggled to make ends meet with their
small appliance business. Today, “we’re no longer concerned with surviving,” he
says. “We have a new house, our kids are in a good school, and we can help our
parents and our church.”
Living the dream: When Hari and Anita learned about the AMWAY business
opportunity, he saw a way “to have a Plan B” should something happen to his
job and she saw a way “to live a life of significance.” Both appreciate that it’s “an
enterprise we can build together.” Adds Hari, “Our AMWAY business has given us
a lot of choices.”
Looking to the future: “We’ve purchased land for our church (which they
pastor),” says Belkis. Besides a new church building, “we plan to build a free
school and potable water distribution center nearby.” Adds Ramon, “Our desire
is to bless as many families as we can with the AMWAY opportunity and all it
can offer.”
Looking to the future: “We have a heart for children and believe in supporting
causes that benefit them,” Anita shares. “Leaving the world the same, not
making a difference, scares me.” She and Hari desire to gain even “more control
over our time and money” so they can continue to make life-changing choices,
like supporting their parents in India and traveling and sharing the business
opportunity around the world. “I’m looking forward to exploring the world beyond
my cubicle!” Hari says.
The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was $202.
Approximately 46% of all IBOs were active.
U.S. IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2010 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or presented the Amway IBO Compensation Plan, or received bonus money, or attended an Amway
or IBO meeting. If someone sustained that level of activity every month for a whole year, their annualized income would be $2,424. Of course, not every IBO chooses to be active every month. “Gross
Income” means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses and cash incentives, and all non-cash
awards, which may be significant. There may also be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation.

RECOGNITION
Francisco and Consuelo Hernandez | California
Longsheng Lei and Fu Hua Wang | California
Living the dream: Since starting their AMWAY™ business, Francisco and Consuelo
have experienced “the nicest surprises,” including the sales incentive bonuses
they’ve enjoyed by “becoming better decision-makers” and following the guidance
of their upline. “We haven’t received that kind of compensation from a normal job,”
he says. The couple was honored to talk about their business recently in an interview
on Telemundo.
Living the dream: Longsheng achieved much success in traditional businesses
in China before buying an almond farm in California. Prior to moving to the
U.S., he learned about the AMWAY™ business opportunity, and he saw “a huge
business with big potential. For me, this business is about the satisfaction of
reaching a big goal and leaving a legacy for my children.”
Looking to the future: “We have many dreams,” Francisco says, including treating
their parents to the good life, sending their children, Carolina (11) and José Emmanuel
(9), to college, and celebrating their daughter’s quinceañera in Paris. “Our biggest
dream is helping our team’s dreams come true,” says Consuelo. “Every time we see
their kids’ faces, we see our own children’s hopes reflected in their eyes.”
Caroline Sun and Han Hsu | California
Ramon and Sonia Mendoza | California
Living the dream: Han and Caroline’s AMWAY business allows them to do what they
love. “My passion is helping people improve their health,” says Han, a trained energy
healer and former engineer. Caroline finds the education component of their business
right up her alley. “I used to teach language,” the former VP of a Chinese language
school remarks. “Now I teach about life.”
Living the dream: Sonia and Ramon have always believed in working for
themselves. When the AMWAY business opportunity appeared, “We saw a way
to buy back time,” says Sonia, who planned to open a law firm in addition to their
bridal business and a small accounting firm. Today, “We have more time to spend
with (daughter) Yazmin and our girls (dogs), Coco and Lili.”
Looking to the future: “At first, I didn’t believe Amway was an international business,”
Caroline admits. She has since traveled to Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore,
Sweden, Vietnam, and Russia with her and Han’s AMWAY business. “The sky’s the
limit for how many people we can help,” says Han, who’s looking forward to having
more time to ride the three motorcycles sitting garaged at their home.
Looking to the future: With time comes choice. “We love having personal
time and time to travel!” says Ramon. He and Sonia are excited to be able to
“give back” to others, especially causes that aid children and the elderly. “We’ve
learned to care for ourselves and others,” states Ramon, who has lost 40 pounds
and recovered his health since using NUTRILITE® nutritional products.
Flor and Guadalupe Jasso | Texas
Johana and Heraclio Puentes | Texas
Living the dream: “If we had traditional jobs, we wouldn’t be able to take the
kids (Osvaldo, 6, and Natalia, 2) to the zoo or park or out for ice cream during the
week,” Guadalupe says. “We can be attentive to their needs, and not feel rushed
in the time we spend with them,” Flor adds.
Living the dream: Thanks to his and Johana’s AMWAY business, Heraclio was
able to leave his job in construction. Nowadays, they get to spend more time
together and with their children, Brisa (13) and Kathy (10). “We work together,
travel together – and we love it!” he says. Their greatest surprise? Qualifying for
Sapphire and Emerald in the same month!
Looking to the future: The Jassos anticipate the day they can help their parents
retire. They also want to “travel everywhere,” including Brazil for the 2014 World
Cup. And someday, Guadalupe says, he will fulfill his childhood dream of owning
a bank. “I grew up very poor and was drawn to the self-assuredness of the
people at the bank.”
PAGE 42 |
Looking to the future: Longsheng and Fu Hua have their sights set on Crown
Ambassador. “Our goal is to be the No. 1 organization in the United States,” he
says. Their college-aged sons are also pursuing AMWAY businesses of their own.
“This business is so family-oriented! It’s definitely changed our lives for the better,”
Longsheng believes.
Looking to the future: The Puentes family is looking forward to purchasing a
home in the near future, complete with stables for their three horses. “We love
riding, swimming, traveling – just doing things together as a family,” Johana
says. Trips to the Pacific Riviera and, of course, Diamond Club in Maui top their
vacation wish list.
Raj and Deepthi Kalavacharla | Texas
Alfredo and Dinora Rivera | Illinois
Living the dream: “We were able to hire a live-in nanny for our son Advai (1),
thanks to our AMWAY business,” says Raj. He and Deepthi, both IT analysts, have
also been able to help Raj’s parents live very comfortably in India, and they are
aggressively pursuing true financial independence at a young age, something “we
could never dream of doing without this business,” Raj says.
Living the dream: “Happiness” is life transformed by an independent AMWAY
business, say Alfredo and Dinora. Before, “we never saw each other and were
always stressed and tired,” Dinora says – Alfredo worked two full-time jobs and
Dinora worked six days a week. Now, “we have no debt, no job pressure, and
endless quality time as a family with Matthew (7) and Efrem (2),” Alfredo says.
Looking to the future: “I’m excited to travel more,” says Deepthi. “You need
money and time to do that and this business helps us generate both.” She and
Raj also enjoy the leadership training that’s vital to building a successful AMWAY
business. “Amway creates world-class leaders,” Raj believes. “To see people
blossom in front of our eyes, that’s worth more than any check!”
Looking to the future: Seeing your downlines’ lives change for the better?
“Priceless!” according to the Riveras. “We talk with our group a lot about
giving back,” says Dinora. “One of our biggest dreams is to create a place for
disadvantaged children to go,” Alfredo shares. “We’re capable of great things,
especially when we’re united with something as big as Amway.”

RECOGNITION
Pratima and Neelesh Singh | Illinois
Living the dream: “If I never saw the AMWAY™ business opportunity, I’d still be
working in the tech industry but never know my potential,” says Neelesh. “This
business empowers you to take control of your future and see your dreams come
true.” He and Pratima enjoy having lots of time to spend with daughter Gauri (5)
and son Prithvi (3).
Sapphire
Achieving Sapphire exhibits dedication to building a sustainable,
balanced business and mentoring others to do the same.
Looking to the future: “I dream of building houses for the homeless in India,”
says Pratima. “With a job, you’re working for your bread and butter and there’s
little left over for helping others. With an AMWAY business, you can make a
difference.” The Singhs desire to travel the world and spend more time with their
families in India.
Jagveer and Manju Singh | Maryland
Living the dream: “As our AMWAY business grows, it gives us more flexibility with
our careers,” says Manju, who works in health care management at a prestigious
hospital. “It’s all about having choices,” agrees Jagveer, who enjoys managing
money. “Our boys saw us building this business with a tremendous amount of work
ethic, honesty, and integrity. The motto in our house is ‘love and hard work.’”

“We intend to use that time for growing our AMWAY business.” Manju shares, “We
like vacationing. I’m looking forward to going back to Hawaii at Diamond and would
like to do more international travel. There’s so much in life to look forward to!”

LEGACY LEADERS
An Enduring Relationship
AMWAY AND IBOAI
Bill Hawkins and Jody Victor take a moment
to share why the Independent Business Owners
Association International (IBOAI) is such an
important part of the Amway legacy.
Why is the IBOAI unique in the direct
selling world?
BILL HAWKINS: We are the only company in this industry
that has a bona fide trade association that represents
the interests of “all” IBOs in North America. The
partnership between Amway and the IBOAI has a rich
51+ year history.
JODY VICTOR: We are the only direct seller to set up a
trade association, effectively giving the field of IBOs a
direct voice in the policies and procedures from the
very first day of business.
Why was it important to Rich and Jay to
support this as an advocacy group for North
American IBOs?
BILL: The vision of this business was that if proper
principles were adhered to, the AMWAY™ business
opportunity would stand the test of time. The IBOAI
was established in Rich’s own words, “to prevent us
from, down the road, changing the deal.”
JODY: The founding principles set forth prior to the
launch of Amway directed the business then and
continues to today. Rich and Jay needed and heeded
the IBOAI voice to be relevant and consistent in
implementing the best company of its kind.
Why is it so important to work in partnership
with IBOs?
BILL: The relationship between Amway, the IBOAI,
and IBOs is one of the most enduring relationships
in American business. It is the ultimate symbiotic
relationship – two forces that exist for the good of each
other. IBOs have been good to Amway, and Amway has
been good to IBOs for over five decades.
JODY:
Love Bill’s answer.
How has the IBOAI helped shape the
business opportunity?
BILL: Nobody knows how to make this business work
like the IBOs who actually build it. Because Amway
takes valuable insight from the IBOAI Board of Directors
(proven leaders in the business) and IBOs, it gives
them a proven advantage over other companies in this
industry. It allows Amway to give IBOs what they need
to build successful businesses.
JODY: Implementation. There is only one way to make
this business run smoothly and that is to work with the
IBOs who are growing, prospering, and remain loyal
to the founding principles. Amway has always gone to
the IBOAI Board of Directors for all changes that could
materially affect the IBO. This has made it possible for
Amway to keep every one of its promises.
